Nellie Morris! Nellie Morris! in the time long
ago.
When my life was full OF gaddness, and m,
heart knew naught OF woe.
Have I pictured sunny dreamings Of maidens
bright and fair;
But none SO sweetly tender as the dreams ]
wove in Clare.
Nellie Morris! Nellie Morris! what magic
power was thine,
Olden memories sweet recalling when thy blue
ewes looked in mine!
7 have basked meath many glances, sighed for
forms OF beauty rare;
Yet my fate was always pointing to village
down in Clare!
Nellie Norris! Nellie Morris! though the pas
sing dream is DER,
And thy winsome blue-eyed beauty shal! light
my path no moro:
Nay thy smile be just as happy, and thy life as
free from care
As when first saw tiee, darling! mid the
bonny hills Of Clare.

4 Revolting Moslem Ceremony,

In former times foreigners used 10 throng
to Cairo TO see that revolving ceremony called
the DoSah. which Is part of the celebration
Of the Mulid en- Nebi, or the prophets birth
day. They may not see it more, because 1t
was owing to Mr.. Butler and his arguments
that the Khedive abolished it. The Dosah was
a minor yuggernaut business. For a distance
OF 500 yards dervishes would lie fiat on the
ground, making a living pavement as wide
as the length OF q man, and over this human
road bed the sheik of the dervishes would
ride ON horseback. at was stout cob,n is
the way the author describes the horse, and
the sheik WAS 10 light weight.
The devout Mohammedan believes that, by
the miraculous Intervention Of the prophet,
nobody is hurt. but M. Butler declares that
many died from injuries thus received and
were sent out OF Cairo 20 be buried. The
sheik of the dervishes is believed 20 go from
one faint into another on this horrible occcss-
ion. Mr. Butler examined the horses feet
and found that he was shod in the eastern
manner-a round iron plate covering the
bottom of the hoof. 1t is due to Mr.. Butler
to state that demonstrating with the khedive
there was no second Dosah.-New York

The Class Circulating Letter.

An ingenious scheme was devised by class
Of young lalies who were graduated from q
prominent New York seminary few years
ago. One of them, new residing in this city,
thus explains it: There were nine of us in the
class, and we were all promising TO write to
each other continually, but in our hearts we
knew that such a correspondence could never
be kept up. Finally one of the girls suggested
a circulating letter. and the idea pleased us
all. At the expiration of one month from the
time We parted the first girl wrote a letter
telling what she had been doing and every
thing about herself which would be likely to
interest the others. This letter was sent to
the second girl, who, after reading it, wrote
her own letter and sent the two to the third
The third, fourth, fifth, and all the others in
turn added their letters until the ninth on the
list sent it back to the first. Then the circuit
was complete and We had the circulating let
ter fairly under way. Now, of course, the
envelope always contains nine letters, and
each girl, when it comes TO her, takes out her
own letter, writes new one telling what
she has been doing IN the meantime, and
starts it on It's travels again. You can have
no idea how interesting it is to receive the
letter and how anxieusly we all await It's
arrival when our turn comes. We have kept
it up for nearly four years, and each time the
letter comes round the pleasure of reading
what all the girls have to say seems to in
crease. One of the girls is III Washington,
another in Chicago, another in Southern Cali
fornia, another in Paris, and one, when last
heard of her, was in Egypt. Some of them
are married. San Francisco Alta.
